Madonna emerged in an era when light
pop music with synthesizers was the standard, in the early 80s. Critics were
seeing in her another of those little uninteresting pop singers that would
disappear after a few smash radio hits, like it was the case for so many
artists of that time. However, Madonna is still here, 25 years later, more
creative and in a better shape than ever.

What makes of her a different pop
artist than all those that were not able to survive from the 80s, it's her
capability to always reinvent herself throughout all those years. What could
be simply called 80's pop music became over the years Madonna's pop music.
She's still one of the biggest influences on the pop scene today and the
list of the names that were influenced by her would be too long to do.

In 2008, Madonna celebrates
her 25th anniversary of career and she will be inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She will have her place besides of Elton John,
Prince and Michael Jackson.
